LANSING — The Michigan Education Trust is encouraging families to consider prepaid college tuition as a meaningful gift option this holiday season.
MET has lowered its minimum contribution to just twenty-five dollars and is offering a $50 bonus for contributions of at least $250 made online between November 29 and December 2 using code BLKFRI25.
Executive Director Diane Brewer said holiday shoppers focus on value, and helping a child pay for college provides long-term impact. MET’s prepaid tuition option locks in today’s rates and can be used at Michigan public universities, community colleges, and many private or out-of-state schools.
A Delta Township grandmother, Sue Stock, began gifting MET credits more than thirty-five years ago. One grandson graduated debt-free from Michigan State, while another passed the benefit to his daughter.
